My all time favorite Bishopbric:
Bishop: Mechanic
1st Councilor: Chiropractic Student
2nd Councilor: Water Treatment Specialist
Executive Secretary: President of Major Manufacturing Plant
(For the first few months he had His executive secretary at work scheduling appointments for the bishop. I would have loved to be a fly on the wall in the meeting that preceded the announcement, over the pulpit, that he had a new private cell phone that would be used for scheduling appointments, and that appointments could now be scheduled on evenings and weekends since “Amy” would no longer be handling that for him. 🙂 I am sure Amy was grateful.)

Wow! I’m impressed people know this about their bishops. And even more impressed by the 4th, 5th, 6th, etc. removed bishops! I had one bishop when I was growing up that was a financial executive for a company, and I only know that much because I dated his son a little while after that. I had another bishop that worked for an airline (an office job, but I don’t know what), and I only know that because I had a family member that worked there and knew him. Yikes! 30+ years of bishops, and I don’t know what any others did for their careers.

Current Bishop-Pharmacist, has almost no social skills but he didn’t ask for the job either.
Previous-Architect and knew the doctrine and had social skills despite coming from Alberta.
Absolute best bishops I had were a occupational therapist and a film editor at the CBC

In one of the wards I served in on my mission, the bishop ran a company that made frozen juice concentrate. He co-owned the company with his father, a counselor in the bishopric (and also the high-priest group leader) and his brother, the elder’s quorum president. His sister, the ward music director, also worked there, as did the ward mission leader and relief society president (who were married to one another), and a few others in the ward. It made for some really interesting dynamics in ward council meetings!
